I’m a 2nd grade teacher at a Title I school in the Bronx, and I’ve been teaching in the DOE for the past three years. Every day, I see the disparities firsthand that exist within our education system. But I also see something else — something powerful. I see the incredible difference that great teaching can make. Teaching Matters helps provide teachers with the tools and training to create effective, culturally responsive classrooms, helping close the opportunity gap for students who need it most.

That’s why I’m running the 2025 NYC Marathon to raise funds for Teaching Matters. Every mile will be for students who deserve access to excellent teaching, no matter their zip code. Your donation will help support the professional growth of teachers and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
Together, we can make education more equitable for every child. Thank you for your support!
